ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN PLUGGING SOMETHING INTO DRIVER SIDE OUTLET, THE TRUCK STALLED. IF I WERE IN A SITUATION WITH MOVING TRAFFIC, THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, LITTLE BY LITTLE THE LOCKS AND WINDOW BUTTONS HAVE STARTED TO FAIL. IF I WERE IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEEDED TO QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE OR REMOVE MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY THREAT. ALSO, I PERSONALLY FEEL UNSAFE KNOWING THAT I COULD NOT QUICKLY LOCK MY DOORS OR SHUT MY WINDOWS IF I WERE BEING ATTACKED.

TRUCK HAS 84K MILES AND SUDDENLY HAS P0303 CODE FOR MISFIRE. IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO MECHANIC. SO FAR VALVE AND LIFTER HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXHISTS. MOST LIKELY A WORN DOWN CAM LOBE FROM THE BAD LIFTER, SO NOW IM WITHOUT A VEHICLEFOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS THAT I STILL OWE 20K ON. I CANT BELIEVE THE PARTS QUALITY AND ENGINEERING ARE SO POOR THAT THIS TRUCK DOESNT EVEN HAVE 90K ON IT. TO TOP IT OFF, THE MANUFACTURER HAS STATED THERE ARE THOUSANDS ON BACK ORDER WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS STATING THEY HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH SUCH LOW MILES AND IRONICALLY OUR TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY.

DASHBOARD MADE OF INFERIOR PLASTIC MATERIAL THAT HAS SPIDER CRACKS AND DISINTEGRATED IN SOME AREAS. THE RESULTS ARE JAGGED PIECES THAT CAN INJURE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS IN A VEHICLE CRASH DUE TO THE IMPACT ITSELF AND DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. WITH THE MOST RECENT RECALL REGARDING THE AIR BAG INFLATORS, THE CHANCES OF CREATING ADDITIONAL FRAGMENTATION IN AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IS MADE MORE LIKELY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY 2008 DODGE RAM 3500 HAS DEATH WOBBLE IN WHEN YOU BARELY HIT A BUMP. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE HAVE HAD THE TIE ROD RECALL FIXED. BEFORE THE RECALL THE TRUCK DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, IT ONLY OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL WAS FIXED. THE DODGE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BALL JOINTS NEEDED REPLACED BUT WE GOT A SECOND OPINION AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BALL JOINTS ON OUR TRUCK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME NOW.
